Cell Phone Numbers Go Public
Lolita
REMEMBER: Cell Phone Numbers Go Public next month.
REMINDER..... all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sales calls.

YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS

Use the "Do Not Call List Canada" web site and register your phone there

telemarketing companies are forbidden to call cellphones. simply inform them that they are calling a cellphone and DEMAND TO BE REMOVED FROM THEIR LIST. the latter goes for all telemarketing calls, simply tell them to remove you from their call list. you will likely still receive calls for three months after your first demand, but eventually you will be removed from all lists and your number will no longer shared/traded/sold as even telemarketing companies realize a worthless number when they see them.
